I've got a Remington 700 inbound. It is presently a 30-06. I'm toying with the idea of re-barrelling it. I'm leaning towards a heavy barrelled long range rig. Besides .308, what are my other options for this action?

Showing my ignorance. Thanks for the suggestion.308 would be a short action, so that's really not even an option for your receiver. You could do .270 or 25-06 or any of the above.
I've got a 300 WM as well as a 30-06. Creedmore is a thought.I’m becoming a fan of the 6.5 Creedmore. I’m getting rid of my 300 mag, ammo gets expensive

I don't think I want to get too exotic. I'm looking more mainstream where brass will not be hard or expensive to find.I'd vote for .284 Win with a long throat to maximize powder capacity with the projectile of your choice. Absent that, a .280AI would be a solid choice. If you want to get into wildcats, the list REALLY opens up. The Gibbs cases come to mind.
